Like it or not, most of the people in Northern Ireland do agree with them, which is why they seem to do well in elections, and most of their policies ( apart from the fringe parties) seem fairly sensible. Very much like the Nationalist SDLP's. Northern Ireland is to be fair, a silly place ( I live here, I should know!), but despite my own political opinions I think most people here like living in the United Kingdom and bear no particular malice to anyone, even people in the so called other community.

They just tend to get stroppy when they feel like their identity is being attacked. Anyway, please feel free to add to this remarkably incomplete node.
